ALBERT LEA, Mimi, May 25.-Sen-
tence was pronounced this morning in
the case of the state against County
Superintendent Levens, convicted by
the judge and jury of libel against John
A. Lovely. The sentence is S100sfne; :;
or if not paid in thirty days, imprison-
ment in the county Jail, defendant to
pay his own costs and the county to pay
the costs of prosecution. The latter
will probably amount to $500, as great
number of witnesses were summoned.
There was a good deal Of politics in the
case. The judge, attorneys for the
prosecution, every member OF the jury
and all the witnesses for the proSecu-
ton were Republicans. The defendant
Levens is an upright man and was
unanimously elected superintendent
of schools of this county last fall in the
same camp in which Lovely was beaten
for congress. He is Republican but
earnestly opposed to Lovely. He had
three attorneys, led by III. r. Wells, who
were Democrats, and several OF his wit
neSSeS were Democrats or opposed to
Lovely. On the witness stand Lovely
took pains to swear that he voted the
straight Republican ticket without a
scratch and in various ways political
suggestions were made to the jury.
Levens' letter to Van Leuven was really
personal and not for publication. A
score of prominent Republican citizens
swore that they saw no signs of drunk
enness after election, and good Re
publican jury, honestly no doubt. under
the charge of the judge found that
Lovely was very sober the day after
election and that LevenS had no right
to say otherwise.

A CATTLE SYNDICATE
Which Is Intended to Unite North
western Ranchmen.

ST. LOUIS, May 25.-A local paper
gives an account of gigantic scheme to
concentrate all the cattle interests OF
the Northwest and form a company
which shall control s15,000,000 worth of
cattle and grazing land. 1t seems to
have originated with the Wyoming
Stock association, of Cheyenne, and is
the outgrOwth of the combination Of the
smaller cattle men into companies,
which has been going on for several
years. This scheme has been formed
for organizing the largest cattle COM
pany ever known, controlling hundreds
of thousands of cattle and ranges, larger
than many states. The failure of the
Swan Bros. brought matters to focus
rather unexpectedly. The plan to unite
the Wyoming, Colorado, Eastern Utah,
Western Nebraska, Southern Montana
and Southern Dakota into one gigantic
company, each absolutely Surrendering
its individual herd and ranch, and re-
ceiving prOpOrtiOnate amount OF stock
in return. A similar association has
been recently formed in Texas, but one
of far less extent and less complete in
its organization.
THE DANGERS
of throwing upon the market large
amount of stock at an unfavOrable time
will thus be obviated, and such disasters
as followed the Indian territory sales
rendered impossible. Periodical de-
pressions, necessitating weaker ranch
men to sell unmatured stock at ruinous
prices, have been disastrous at times,
and this consolidation will, in great
measure, if not entirely, relieve this.
Fear of disastrous consequences of the
Swan failure compelled the cattle men
to take immediate action, and delegates
were sent to New York, London and
Edinburg, to impress upon the capital
lists of these cities, who agreed to go into
the enterprise, the necessity of immedi-
ate action which they have done with
commendable activity. There are con-
nected with the enterprise SturgiS,
Lane, Carey, life and Clarke, of Chey-
enne, and Uirichs and Havemeyer, of
New York, together with number of
Scotch and English capitalists. and some
from Boston and Philadelphia. Those
gentlemen already control fully half of
the stock in Wyoming, and have the
support of nearly all the rest of that ter
ritory. The cattle will be apportioned
to the ranges, the water supply fairly
divided, and the productive region
largely increased.
